Why do antidetect browsers need proxies?
Because fingerprint isolation and network identity are two separate layers, and platforms correlate both. A perfectly unique fingerprint arriving from the same IP as nine other profiles is not anonymity — it is a cluster with one shared address. The proxy is what makes each profile look like a separate household as well as a separate device.
It also works in the other direction: a residential IP behind an obviously automated or duplicated fingerprint does not save the profile either. Both layers have to hold for the profile to read as an ordinary user.
